The Beatles Are Streaming!

The Beatles’ back catalogue will appear on music streaming services – Spotify, Deezer, Google Play, Microsoft Grooove, Amazon Prime, Rhapsody, Spotify, Slacker, Tidal and Apple Music for the first time on Christmas Eve.

The announcement ends the most high-profile artist holdout from streaming services, and will begin on December 24 at 12:01am local time – here, there and everywhere.

The Beatles’ representative Apple Corps and label Universal Music have opted for broad access rather than signing an exclusive deal with one partner, as they did in 2010 with Apple’s iTunes when Beatles downloads first went on sale.
